A surface extension method using several functions

  • Published : 2003.09.01

Abstract

We propose a method of surface extension method using several functions. Interpolation theory is well developed in curve and surface. But extrapolation theory is not well developed because it is not unique outside the useful domain. It requires continuous, first derivative, second derivative continuous extension for matching in NC(Numerical Control) machine. In the past, we generate data outside the useful area and refit those data using least squares method. this has some problems which have some errors within the useful area. We keep the useful area and extend the unuseful area by a function
